I'm trying to make a simple exe that, when opened, moves itself to my documents folder, but when i open it, it doesn't do that, what can i do?
string fileName = "installer.exe";
string strExeFilePath = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;
string strWorkPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(strExeFilePath);
string sourceFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(sourcePath, fileName);
string destFileMove = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);
System.IO.File.Move(sourceFile, destFileMove);
CodePudding user response:
File.Move(string, string)
takes in 2 file names, so your second parameter is incorrect: instead of passing the target folder, you have to pass the target full file name.
If you want to preserve your previous file name, do it like this:
string destFileMove = Path.Combine(
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments),
fileName);
